What does this PDF sign tool do?

It places a drawn signature, a signature image, or a typed name on a PDF page where you drag it, then saves a visually signed file. It fits an acknowledgement or minutes when you need a mark on the page, not a full digital-certificate workflow.

After upload, go to the target page, drop the signature, and resize it. Check that it does not cover clause text. You can add a date next to it if needed.

This is a visible mark, not a substitute for every organization’s qualified e-sign system. Lock the file afterwards with protect PDF if needed. Files are deleted after the job.

When do you need to sign a PDF online?

Approving an HR form quickly.
Returning a contract signature page after you read it.
Initialing an internal report before archive upload.

Sign PDF — frequently asked questions

Yes. You can sign PDFs online for free in your browser with fair limits on the free plan and higher limits on Pro for larger files and more signers.

Files are processed only for signing, then removed automatically after a short period (one hour on the free plan). We do not share them with third parties.

Simple signature embeds your signature as an image on the PDF. Digital signature (Pro) embeds a cryptographic seal inside the file so any later edit shows as “modified after signing” in PDF readers, prints a reference number on the page, and stores a SHA-256 hash of the document in a registry you can use to verify it. It is a tamper-evident platform seal, not a qualified certificate-authority signature (QES).

“Only me”: you sign yourself right now and download the signed PDF immediately — no invitations. “Multiple people”: you prepare the document, assign fields to each signer, send email invitations; each person signs via their own link while you track progress until everyone is done.

After you send the signing request, each signer gets an email with their name and a secure personal link. The link opens the signing page where they review the document, accept the terms, then fill their fields (signature, date, text…). You can customize the email subject and body before sending.

The sender gets notifications at the email on their account: first when any signer completes signing (with the signer’s name), and again when all signers are done so they can download the final PDF. You can also follow every action on the request tracking page without waiting for email.

Right after sending, the tracking page opens automatically. Later: sign in → My account → Track requests, or open the tracking link you received after sending. You will see each signer’s status, the event log (sent, viewed, signed…), and options to resend invitations or download files.

For “Only me” mode, no — sign and download right away. For “Multiple people”, yes — you must sign in or create a free account before sending invitations so we can link the request to you, send you notifications, and let you track it later.

Yes. The interface is responsive on phones and tablets. Signers can also sign from their phone using the invitation link in their email.
